Excuses abound for neglecting one’s blog…
- I’m too busy.
- My computer crashed.
- I have writer’s block.
- I’m on vacation.
- I’m sick.
- The kids are sick.
- My dog’s sick.
I think at one point during my three and half year blogging journey, I have used each of those…at least once. However, none of those reasons can account for my recent disappearance.
Basically, I was lost. No, not that kind of lost. I was this kind of LOST…
I could not blog for the past week because for every waking moment that I was not teaching Bonny Annie and Dirty Harry, or taking care of Cap’n Jack Henry, or making dinner, or doing laundry, I was watching Season 5 of the TV show “Lost.”
If you’ve seen this program, you probably understand. I watched seasons 1 & 2 on borrowed DVDs. Then I watched seasons 3 & 4 over the summer on Netflix livestreaming on my laptop while I nursed the baby. But season 5….whoa! Season 5!…I had to watch it early in the morning, huddled on my bed, hoping I didn’t wake anyone else up and be forced to make them oatmeal. Or during Jack Henry’s naptime, allowing the big kids to play the Wii for forty-five minutes, so I could sneak in an episode. I even locked myself in my bathroom one night and watched one episode while taking a bubble bath and drinking a Bartle and James margarita. No, I’m not kidding.
So, anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I’m okay. I’m still alive and well. I’m planning on watching the 6th and final season of this series on TV when it begins on February 2nd. I think we can all agree that watching one episode a week is going to be much healthier for me, my family and this blog.
Glad ur back….I love ur blogs…..so interesting
I totally understand. Last season was amazing. I was biting my nails in anticipation every week!!

Wow. Love your site! How nice to meet another Pirate Mom!!!
As for being Lost…I was that way when Hubby shocked me with all 6 seasons of NCIS (that being my show to get lost by). They went everywhere with me – in the truck when we drove uptown for groceries…heading out of town to visit the inlaws…Gotta love portable systems! Tho I’m sure my little skalliwag was NOT impressed Mom had claimed “his” dvd system!
I will be visiting often. I kind of got lost exploring your blog. Great with a sense of humor. Gotta love that

I soooo love lost!! I just realized that season six starts soon!! And panicked!! I never saw most of season five!! I’d really love to start from season one and go again, but I’ll never make it through in time!! I’m off now to go and buy season five!
I must be missing something. I have never seen an episode of Lost. Not one. I’m thinking I should remedy that??!!

LOST is THE show that I beg everyone to watch. It’s sooooo amazing! I didn’t start up on it until late last year when a station started playing 4 episodes in a row every Saturday night. My husband and I got HOOKED and could not stop until we were totally caught up in time for season 5 to start. When 5 ended we just looked at each other with complete angst, realizing that we had a LOOOONG wait ahead of us until season 6. Now here it is, right around the corner and I can’t believe how quickly time has passed!
LOST is definitely an acceptable reason for neglecting a blog, and certainly a perfect occasion to hole up in the bathtub with a margarita! Very nice
